Empowered: “Paul Is Tested in the Fire"
A. Finishing the third mission trip...
1. Paul and his companions traveled to Cos.
2. The next day they reached Rhodes and Patara. Rhodes was the home of The Colossus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World! It was a 108-foot statue of the Greek god Helios, on a 50-foot white marble platform.
3. They boarded a cargo ship sailing for Phoenicia, past Cyprus.
4. They landed at Tyre in Syria where he found believers and stayed with them for a week.
5. They boarded a ship and traveled to Ptolemais and stayed one day.
6. The next day they traveled to Caesarea and stayed with Philip the Evangelist and his four daughters.
7. After several days, they packed and went to Jerusalem. There, they met with James and all of the elders of the Jerusalem church.
B. Paul encounters a lot of emotion...
1. Paul left the Ephesian elders with tears.
2. Paul left the believers in Tyre where they prophesied that he should not go to Jerusalem.
3. In Caesarea, Agabus prophesied of Paul’s desperate encounter that would be ahead in Jerusalem. The believers begged him not to go.
4. Paul gave a detailed account to the elders and responded to their concerns about Jewish laws.
5. After seven days, a mob was aroused and the whole city was in an uproar.
6. Paul requested to speak to the crowd. He shared his testimony. Acts 22:1-21
7. Paul revealed his Roman citizenship to the commander.
8. Paul appeared before the high council of Sadducees and Pharisees. They became divided by Paul’s declaration of his belief in the resurrection of the dead.
9. Paul’s nephew (his sister’s son) heard of the plot to kill Paul by more than 40 men.
10. The commander moved Paul to safety by sending him to Governor Felix in Caesarea.
C. How do we know when it is God’s will or not? How do we discover God’s will?
1. First, surrender to His will.
2. Obey what you know to be God’s command.
3. Trust God to show you His will.
4. Live a life of gratefulness.
5. Let your life show Christ.
6. Look at your gifts and see how God can use them.
7. Learn to listen and recognize God’s voice.
8. Delight in Him and commit your way to Him.
9. Seek godly counsel.
10. Look for open and closed doors.
